PA Independent Living Online Radio Program about Home and Community-Based Waivers this Friday, October 24

This online radio program will be about the new federal regulations for Medicaid home and community-based services now in effect. These regulations require Pennsylvania to ensure that its Medicaid home and community-based waiver services are provided through a person-centered planning process and provided in appropriate, integrated settings.

The discussion will be about what the term home and community-based services means, what person-centered planning is all about, how it impacts people with disabilities, the Department of Human Service’s (formerly Department of Public Welfare) transition plan, and much more.

A recording of the radio program will be posted online afterward. A written transcript of the radio program will also be posted online afterward. Go to the PA Independent Living Online Radio website: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/pa-independent-living.
